Born
Windsor, Berkshire, England
Genre


Herbert Swire (b. 1936), known better as Jim Swire, is an English doctor best known for his involvement in the aftermath of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, in which his daughter Flora was killed. Swire lobbied toward a solution for the difficulties in bringing suspects in the original bombing to trial, and later advocated the retrial and release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the originally convicted suspect in the case.

In 1990 Swire also carried a fake bomb onto an aircraft as a demonstration of lax security.

Jim Swire is the son of Colonel Roger Swire, an officer in the Royal Engineers, and his wife the Scottish folklorist Otta F. Swire, née Tarn.
